Leo the Late Blooomer Robert Kraus and Jose Aruego "I have read Leo the Late Bloomer right here many times because I am the mother of a 5 year-old and a 2 -- year-old. It's a great kid's book. The story of Leo the Late Bloomer is about actually not a lion; even though his name's Leo, he's a tiger. He is a late bloomer; he can't do all of the things his friends can do. He can't write neatly, he eats very sloppily, he's just - he's not able to do the other things. He doesn't even talk. He like barely says anything. So the story's about how he - and his father is like, "Oh, what's wrong? Is he even ever gonna bloom?" and his mother says, "No, he's just a late bloomer." Of course, by the end of the story, which is not very long, he is able - he learns in his own time and in his own way how to write, and how to eat neatly, and how to speak; and his first thing he speaks is not just one word but a whole sentence. He says, "I made it." So it's just an encouraging story about it's okay if you're not doing everything at the same time as everybody else; you'll get it in your own time. Well, I can definitely say that from - definitely from two to probably at least six, and maybe seven, especially if you have a late bloomer because it's a simple story, and it's simple language. It's not a lot of words, but it's a good message. It's also good for kids who aren't late bloomers so that they're more accepting of kids who are. I would like to give Leo the Late Bloomer four stars out of five."
